Blue Microphone Yeti USB Microphone The Blue Yeti USB Microphone employs a unique, tri-capsule design and the ability to capture audio in up to 16-bit, 48 kHz resolution. This studio-quality microphone is highlighted by a mic with an integrated headphone amp that's backed by an independent gain control for latency-free monitoring. Other features include microphone gain control, an instant mute function and an included stand that allows for pivoting in a variety of angles for ideal placement. Versatile Applications A versatile microphone that's great for recording vocals, podcasts, music, interviews and even college lectures, depending on your sound source, this foldable microphone also allows the listener to select between stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, or bi-directional polar patterns for optimal results. Additionally, the Yeti is Mac and Windows compatible and includes a USB cable which lets you plug it in and record. Total Recording Control with Yeti Yeti features studio controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute and microphone gain—putting you in charge of every level of the recording process. If you’re experiencing distortion or feedback while recording an especially loud source—like the deafening sound of an avalanche—simply adjust the microphone's sensitivity with the gain control. Or if you want to take a break in the middle of a podcast, use the instant mute button. The microphone comes equipped with a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack that allows you to listen to what you're recording in real-time, without latency delays—that means no more hearing a note 3 seconds after you played it.
